Hi Gang,

We’ve added a gallery of photos of the US Army Air Defense Museum at Fort Sill, OK.

Great photos!

I wonder why in the museums collection aren't any captured weapons - AA guns and missile systems.

They have many captured weapons, I know for sure they have WW II Italian artillery and SPGs, they have Japanese stuff too.
It's just they aren't covered inside this set of pictures

Only a small part of the collection is on display as the museum is in a temporary location as work is being done to the buildings it is slated to occupy.

We are working on a gallery of photos from the tour we did of the storage area for the museum - including the Italian AAA truck and an important artifact from Vietnam - stay tuned!

Bialy-r - They have these captured WW2 pieces on display at the Air Defense Artillery Park located near the Field Artillery museum:

They even have an AAC 37mm gun over there (pics 6 through 11)... cool!

Thanks for the ID on that one, Costas!

You are welcome. I honestly wasn't expecting to see one. The carriage is missing and I'm wondering if they intend to build one for it.

Hello,

very nice pictures as usual, thanks for sharing. Sorry Paul, but I have to admit that I particularly like the photos taken by Loren.
